This could be it, and end of a era, however short. We are talking about the end of Camp Alex. Quarterback Alex Smith said Friday on the last day of Camp Alex #2 that he’s about at the edge of what he can impart on his fellow teammates. Smith did everything to make the two June minicamps happen. He brought in power point presentations, film clips of West Coast offenses, he worked extra with players, he had San Jose State filming this week’s practices. He even organized a contest Friday to test players’ knowledge of what’s been taught.

Smith wouldn’t say what the prizes were, but did say that wide receiver Kevin Jurovich was the big winner.

Here are some other notes from Camp Alex:

-Smith thanked San Jose State for their facilities. “San Jose State has been great,” Smith said. “Everything that we’ve asked for, they’ve been so accommodating.”

-Rookie Bruce Miller made his first appearance. The former University of Central Florida pass rusher is being converted to fullback. Miller would have arrived earlier but he had to give a deposition in the trial of Ereck Plancher, who died in March of 2008 after going through conditioning drills.

-No offensive linemen showed up Friday. Several of them went to Lake Tahoe for frivolity and to play in a golf tournament over the holiday weekend.

-When Smith did speak with coaches the one day the lockout was lifted, he was told the 49ers might bring in other quarterbacks. “Every team is going to try to get the best quarterbacks,” Smith said, “the best three or four. (Coach Jim Harbaugh) told me that upfront.”

-Smith has told rookie Colin Kaepernick not to rely too much on his cannon arm. “When you’re young you want to throw everything hard,” Smith said. “It looks good and it feels good.” But Smith said the best quarterbacks in the league are not firing meteors around the field. “The main thing is to make good decisions and be accurate,” said Smith, “make sure the ball comes out on time.”

-Smith said he has exhausted his knowledge of the main offensive concepts. He also admitted that he did not teach any situational football – goal-line, short-yardage, red zone, two-minute and third-down plays.

-The three quarterbacks – Smith, Kaepernick and David Carr split the reps over the minicamps evenly.

-Smith decided to not practice against the defense because the potential benefit was not worth the risk of players getting injured. He also was not sure the defense could field a 11 players because there are so many potential free agents.
